The grape variety gives pride of place to red wines, with 20 hectares planted half in merlot, half in cabernet sauvignon. The remaining hectare is dedicated to white wine with 60% Sauvignon and 40% Sauvillon. With the help of Denis Dubourdieu and Valérie Lavigne, Paulin Calvet, from a long line of Bordeaux wine merchants, produces wines every year. who favor race, elegance and purity. One of the peculiarities of this area is to be at the gates of Bordeaux and Mérignac, with houses for neighboring vines.
